    What part of EcoCityCraft is this suggestion for:
    Network Wide
    Short title for your suggestion:
    #1
    What are you suggesting:
    Top Donor Tag
    Why is this a good addition for EcoCityCraft?:
    It will encourage people to compete for Top Donor. This Tag would encourage people to compete for the top donor tag which can only help the server due to donation competition
    Other information:
    At this point I cant think of a balanced benefit to being top donor, but that can be added later after discussion . Competition is the heart of Capitalism and Capitalism is ECC. I feel it should be based off both personal donations and those made on behalf of others. which would make it an extension of the sponsor tag.
    Plugin or custom addition:

    One suggestion per form:
    I Understand.

    Tbh based off history we have always had people donate for stupid reasons. Like more trophies. Sooo sure, why not. If it encourages donating and it isn't too hard on Andrew, why not.

    Why would this be a joke, ECC is built on status and title... Competition is for the good of the server every day of the week

    As a fellow sponsor, I believe this is dumb. Our top donor is (iirc) thousands of USD ahead of the next one, so top donor will be absolutely pointless if nobody can even achieve it.

    I like it. It's easy to implement, and a fun status symbol.

    It is a status symbol that people would chase and people would donate for it. Competition is healthy and would help the server, donations help pay devs and server costs and numerous other things. In the end of it all how will it effect you? it probably wont have an effect on the majority of players, BUT it will have an effect on the top players of ecc striving to be #1 those players who donate or facilitate donations the most.

    Again maybe there isn't any actual benefit to this but that doesn't mean people wont chase it. People used to chase ecolegend before there was any benefit to. People will always chase the next highest tier

    If it was a top 3 or a top 5 thing that makes it even more accessible. If it became a modification of baltop that would make it event. people dont always chase #1 they do chase top 10's or top 5's even tops 3's

    While not necessary I find myself striving to be the best, it does absolutely no harm to anybody to add this.

    However for privacy reasons the person at #1 should be allowed to choose if they get that title, as I know true donation amounts are not public.

    Well there is a problem I guess, whether or not people want to show how much they've donated. Or if it was just a blind award that you strive for? Perhaps it should be a declared rank only? one that you pm Andrew for like sponsor.

    Won't be adding this.
    Can't automate smoothly, among several other reasons.
